End of season boosting makes pushing plat and lower elos impossible.
It's pretty obvious when people are boosting/smurfing.
When someone has 500 games in gold and then all the sudden has a match history of 30 kills 0 deaths 10 + assists every game.
And with the added amount of spam friend requests for boosting services, it's no wonder that many kids grab their mom's credit cards the second they see them.
It makes legitimate players trying to push an end of season platinum nearly impossible.
I have a 60+% winrate in 250+ jungle games, but now it just seems impsosible to do anything.
